That's cool, I don't think my Dell is that good but it's the best computer I have ever had.

Hope I get to mine in time!

have you tried making the path that you're writing to completely open in terms of permissions? e.g. chmod 777 /path/to/folder - it's possible that the issue could be coming from permissions on the folders that are parents to your target directory.

Have you messed around with the setuid/setgid bits?

This isn't an NFS share you're writing to, is it?

What kind of process do you have that's writing to this location? Is it a program? PHP? Python or something? Bash script set up as a cron job? For some reason, I remember having an issue very similar to this, with a PHP program doing a SFTP transfer using PHPSECLIB - not sure if it's at all related (I think it was a permissions issue), but if you haven't figured it out by now, I'll try to dig through my notes for ya. Let me know.
It’s a rather convoluted process. We have a Windows service that queues print uploads for preflighting. That launches a bat file which passes everything to a command line exe I wrote in C# that uses renci ssh to talk to a Linux box running cli preflighting software which outputs the results to a Windows network folder (the part I was having trouble with).

Anyway we managed to get it working by using smb instead of nfs to write the files to the Windows network. Thanks for the input.

I'm having issues with my monitor. It keeps flicking off for a second, blank screen then back. A few moments later it goes again. I've checked the connections, changed the refresh rate several times, uninstalled, reinstalled and tried to update the drivers but it persists in happening.

I don't think it's any issue with the graphic card, as I also run a second monitor (my TV) through a HDMI cable and that works fine. When the main monitor flickers, the TV does not. I've also been getting messages about a power surge in the PSU every time I boot up, though some comments have been not to put too much store in that, as it may be the software just being overprotective.

Before I go replacing the monitor, any advice? I tried to hook up an older monitor to try to confirm if there was an issue with the current one, but it told me there was a different signal ratio, advised me to change it (don't know what it is or how to do that) and remained blank, so that was a failure.

If I need a new monitor I'll get one, but the last thing I want to do is buy one and then find the problem is still there, that it wasn't the monitor that was the issue at all.

Any help very much appreciated. I can use my TV as a monitor for now, but it's at the end of my bed and not too easy to read text off, so not ideal for being used as a primary monitor.

Thanks
TH
